Add warm, inviting color to your handmade candles with the Golden Honey Candle Dye Block. Formulated for improved color clarity, this concentrated solid candle dye creates shades ranging from soft honey and warm beige to rich golden amber, depending on the wax and amount of dye used.
The Golden Honey Candle Dye Block is compatible with both soy wax and paraffin wax. As shown in the product image, soy wax generally produces a softer, creamier honey shade, while paraffin wax creates a clearer and more saturated golden-amber color.
For lighter colors, shave the dye block into smaller pieces and add the shavings gradually to fully melted candle wax. Add more dye to create a deeper golden honey tone. This color can also be blended with other candle dye blocks to create custom caramel, antique-gold, bronze and warm neutral shades.
Available as a single block, a 12-block pack, or a 60-block pack, this candle dye is suitable for testing new formulas, making small batches, and producing candles in larger quantities.
For reliable results, create a complete test candle using the intended wax, dye, fragrance, additives, vessel or mold, and wick. Allow it to cure and conduct a full burn test before beginning production.
Creating custom colors
Golden Honey Candle Dye Blocks can be blended with other candle dye blocks to create custom shades:
- Golden Honey + yellow: Bright gold or warm sunflower
- Golden Honey + orange: Amber, caramel or autumn gold
- Golden Honey + brown: Toffee, antique gold or warm bronze
- Golden Honey + red: Copper, maple or reddish amber
- Golden Honey + a small amount of black: Deep bronze or aged gold
- A small amount in white wax: Cream, champagne, or pale honey
Add the second color gradually and record every measurement so the custom shade can be reproduced.
Product type: Concentrated solid dye
Dye Type: Block
Dye Color: Golden Honey
The amount of dye used controls the intensity of the finished color. Shave the block into smaller pieces for pale or medium yellow shades, or gradually add more dye for a deeper canary yellow.
The finished shade can be affected by:
- Type and natural color of the wax
- Amount of dye used
- Size and thickness of the dye shavings
- Fragrance oil
- Wax additives
- Mixing temperature
- Cooling and curing conditions
- Lighting conditions
Soy wax is naturally white and opaque, so it commonly produces a softer or more muted yellow. Paraffin wax generally creates a clearer, brighter and more saturated shade.
Melted wax may look darker than the finished candle. Always evaluate a completely cooled sample before adjusting the formula or pouring the full batch.
